ISCF project

4 BEIS Grand Challenges, 5 Missions

■ Artificial intelligence and data – use AI to transform medical research ■ Meeting the needs of an aging society ■ Clean growth – Halving energy use in buildings – Establish the world’s first net-zero carbon industrial cluster by 2040 and at least 1 low-carbon cluster by 2030 ■ Future of mobility – zero emissions vehicles

Six energy intensive industry clusters in the UK

Net zero?

■ Net zero means that the UK’s total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions would be equal to or less than the emissions the UK removed from the environment. This can be achieved by a combination of emission reduction and emission removal. – 100% vs 1990 ■ Applied to a region (Humber) and a sector (industry): – How to consider embedded carbon in construction and indirect effects of construction – How to consider imports of fuels (e.g. low carbon H2, high carbon H2) – risk of

• ffshoring?

– Who claims negative emissions if imported H2 made from BECCS is made out

• f region?

Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund (ISCF)

■ £170M fund, matched with up to £261M from industry = £431M ■ Deploy new low carbon technologies and accelerate cost effective and deep industrial decarbonisation – Support delivery of achieving one low-C cluster by 2030 – First net zero cluster by 2040 – Covering energy intensive industries

■ Iron/steel, refining, chemicals etc

■ Boost competitiveness of industrial regions – Drive inward investment – Create and protect jobs

ISCF fund has three strands

IDRIC (Heriot Watt led) - Sustainable industrial clusters knowledge creation and sharing function, including the creation of a joint industry/government/academic-led research programme Deployment projects - Detailed designs and demonstration of industry-scale technologies and shared infrastructure for the cost- effective deep decarbonisation of at least one industrial clusters Cluster Plans (roadmaps) and feasibility studies for net zero industrial cluster

Humber Cluster Plan (HIDR, now HCP)

■ Phase 1 is now complete – developing the methodology for an accelerated start to a Phase 2 – Baseline emissions data – Modelling scope and capabilities

■ Prescriptive analytics

– Data sourcing/identification ■ Completion of Phase 1 permits entry to the Phase 2 competition for funding to deliver our Cluster Plan (Roadmap) – Starts January 2021 – Completion 31 March 2023 – Identify optimal secure, low cost route to achieving a zero carbon Humber energy intensive industrial sector by 2040.

Meeting net zero in 2050

■ To meet 80% decarbonisation, fossil fuels still made up 50% of final energy demand (30% petroleum, 20% gas). Electricity made up 30%, heat networks 5%, hydrogen at 10% and biomass 5%. ■ More profound changes are needed to meet net zero. – Wherever possible, delivery of final energy by fossil fuels is substituted out.

■ Share of fossil fuels drops to 25%.

– ~ three quarters of energy mix provided by electricity (43%), hydrogen (20%) & district heat (10%). – Negative emissions needed to counter residual emissions, especially from aviation. – Most of remaining fossil fuel used in industry and aviation – Greater intermittent power use so greater requirement for system balancing (power storage etc)

Agenda

Humber region industry transition

Industry is challenging to decarbonise

■ Chemical feedstocks themselves emit CO2, e.g. limestone – ~45% of industrial emissions ■ Highly integrated processes – some make their own “internal” fuels from their chemical feedstocks e.g. steel, refining – Replacing refinery fuel gas with hydrogen requires an abated use for fuel gas ■ Requirement for high temperature heat (~35% of industrial emissions) – could potentially use electric furnaces or hydrogen – Steel ~1200°C, limestone calcination ~1400°C ■ Industrial facilities have long lifetimes. Design changes would require costly redesigns, retrofits and/or rebuilds. ■ The need to maintain business competitiveness.

Agenda

Available technologies & Humber Deployment Projects

Demand side measures

Reduce demand for primary resources & emissions through

• ptimisation, re-

using, recycling

Energy efficiency

Adapt production equipment to lower energy use per unit volume

CCS (CCU)

Capture CO2 emitted and store (CCS) or use (CCU)

Direct air capture and BECCS

Capture CO2 from the air or via biomass to provide a negative emission credit

Hydrogen as a fuel or feedstock

Replace feedstock or fuel with low or negative carbon hydrogen.

Biomass as a fuel

• r feedstock

Replace feedstock or fuel with sustainably produced biomass e.g. to produce an ultra- clean syngas for acetic acid manufacture.

Electrification

Replace fossil fuel for heating, mobile plant and motor drives with renewable electricity

Other innovations

e.g. innovative processes e.g. electrochemical production process, non fossil fuel feedstock change, such as a change in cement feedstock

Cluster Plan (roadmapping)

Cluster Plan (Roadmapping)

■ Identify optimal (secure, low cost) route to a zero carbon Humber energy intensive industrial cluster by 2040 – Understand uncertainties – identify resilient technologies and choices – Identify potential futures for industry in the Humber

■ Deployment projects and others

– Establish value to Humber beyond 2040

■ Jobs, inward investment, GVA

– Identify skills and training needs – Identify legacy potential and implement

Climate change is an urgent issue

■ Hard to decarbonise sectors just got harder – Covid impact yet to play out – Must maintain momentum ■ Industrial emissions challenge – CCS and fuel switching (especially hydrogen) will be crucial

■ Continuous improvement needed

– Humber region is strongly placed ■ Catch and Humber LEP are working to deliver a Cluster Plan to achieve net zero in industry by 2040 ■ Large scale emitters working on parallel projects to demonstrate action at scale
